Tytyana Miller's family tried to persuade her into rehab

Sadly, the reality TV star explained she felt she could recover on her own. Her brother and father made it clear that they were concerned for her wellbeing. "I mean, you say that Tyty, but on the serious side, I think we should get some professional help just to make sure you stay on track," pleaded Master P.
Tytyana's brother, Romeo, also chimed in about his friends' experience with substance use, seemingly hoping the anecdote would resonate with his sister. "I have friends that [have] been through this and it take two years of being completely sober to really be like you could walk away from this," he told Tytyana. The young woman's struggles were addressed again in Season 2 when Romeo and Master P confronted her about failing to reply to their text messages. "I think when people hide that they have a problem, they'll never overcome it," the record label executive said during the episode. After a stern conversation about Tytyana's behavior, the concerned father requested she take a drug test.

She pursued an acting career like her father
Tytyana Miller had aspirations of becoming an actor prior to her death. The young woman had already begun her promising journey to stardom by earning a role in the 2017 film "A Mother's Choice." She starred in the drama alongside her sister, Itali Miller. If you're a fan of "Growing Up Hip Hop," this probably doesn't come as a surprise. It's clear that talent runs in the family.
Tytana's rapper-turned-business mogul father, Master P, has dabbled in acting himself. His long list of credits include roles in TV shows like "Girlfriends," "CSI: NY," and "Moesha." The rapper spoke about his passion for acting during an interview with Off Beat Magazine for his film, "#Unknown." "When you get to a certain level, you want to bring projects to life," he explained. "For me, it is almost like being two different people. I can go be a businessman on this side and come back and utilize my acting skills and my fanbase, just feeding them."
Tytyana likely had her father to turn to for acting advice given his years of experience. Her brother, Romeo Miller, shared that he benefits from his father's guidance when it comes to balancing his career in entertainment with his multiple business endeavors. "Growing up watching one of the best and most powerful businessmen to ever do it guided me to be the man I am today," Romeo said, per Off Beat Magazine.
Tytyana Miller's rapper mom faced hard times
By now, you know that Tytyana Miller is the daughter of legendary rapper and record label executive Master P. The late actor's mother, Sonya Miller, was also a rapper. Sonya went by the stage name Sonya C, but she retired the persona when she became a mother, per Patch. Sonya didn't have the easiest life, as she says her marriage to Master P was difficult. " ... at what point will the public look at me as a woman that was cheated on and left to fend for myself with seven kids while my husband lavished his life with the spoils of the industry?" she asked, revealing some of the hardships of her past relationship with the rapper, per Patch.
Like Tytyana, Sonya has also been affected by drug use. According to the mother's interview for Patch, it has been rumored that she struggles with addiction. These allegations gained traction when Master P claimed that Sonya abuses drugs. However, she claims that she's only ever observed her loved ones misuse drugs. "As far as drugs like crack, I grew up in the projects, crack was everywhere," Sonya explained. "I had family and friends on crack like everybody else." As for her life after divorce, Sonya has gone through a complete transformation. She revealed she enrolled in Pepperdine University to study theatre arts and journalism. The mom also began writing a book and pursued a modeling and reality TV career.
